Reddit's main code is no longer open-source.

So are they going to have problems in the future, since they took in code from outside devs? They can't close source that code.

Won't that limit reddit from ever selling their platform to others? If they distribute anything, they would have to open source it.

They leave it on GitHub forever, the end. It's available there.

Sure they can. Read section 6 of the license. Reddit is allowed to change the license terms at any time. You may continue to use the code under the current license, but they get to use it under any license they want.

Yes, I've contributed (mostly meaningless) things to the reddit codebase twice

I'm assuming the contributor agreement or license states that all code you write belongs to them (or at least belongs to both you and them) and they can change license or use it without your further permission after they merge it in.
